Books:
The Peaceful Wife – Living in Submission to Christ As Lord
- If you haven’t read this book yet, especially if you tend to be a Type-A personality wife, I would love to invite you to ask your husband (or someone else) to get it for you for Christmas. What better gift could there be than to have the tools you need to grow in Christ and to grow as a wife?
- It is available on Kindle, as an e-book, or paperback.
- There is a free downloadable group study guide to go along with the book if you want to do this book as a small group study with friends or at your church.
The Peaceful Mom: Building a Healthy Foundation with Christ As Lord (will be available on Amazon in March)
- This could be an amazing Mother’s Day gift for moms of any age. It is designed to fit new moms, moms-to-be, and even moms of grown children. It also is applicable regardless of a mom’s marital situation.
- It will also be available electronically and as a paperback.
- Preorders will probably start in the next month or so on Amazon.

Speaking
I am available to speak to women’s groups! This is one of my favorite parts of ministry. 🙂
If you are interested in having me speak to your women’s group or to speak at a conference, here are the steps to take:
- Pray about whether this is something the Lord may be leading you to do for your church or women’s group.
- Decide about how many women you expect to come.
- Decide what topics you would like me to cover and how long I will be speaking.
- Be sure your church/organization is willing to provide transportation and accommodations/expenses for me. I live in the Columbia, SC area in the USA.
- Decide if you would like a Power Point presentation and/or workbooks for the ladies to use during the seminar.
- Your church can pay me a flat speaking fee (depending on the expected attendance) or we can sell tickets. Your organization can sell tickets, or I can sell tickets. If I sell tickets, we will take the cost of food, decorations, and the workbooks out of the cost of the tickets if you would like me to handle the ticket selling on Eventbrite.
- Check to see if it will be okay for me to bring books to sell to any of the ladies who would like to purchase some.
- Check to see if it is okay for me to promote the event on my sites. Other ladies might like to come if they know about it.
- Ask your pastor, women’s ministry leader, or whoever is heading up the speaking engagement to contact me on my contact page.
- Be sure to have some ladies to pray for the event!!
